Yes. Notaries can charge no more than the statutory amount set forth in General Laws chapter 262, section 41. (For example, the cost of noting, including recording and notices, shall not exceed $1.25.) However, an attorney or other professional may still charge a separate fee for document preparation or other professional services that are provided in conjunction with a document that is being notarized.
